what trunk lip is that?

 

I'm only 17 and my parents got me a Lancer, and I was able to make it "fun" to drive and somewhat fast (through corners not the straights). Hell, I even auto crossed and I was able to keep up with the evos and the subies. If you want to learn to work on cars (I taught myself to port a intake manifold and I have done all of the maintenance), then actually DO IT don't just "hellaflush" it and call it a lost cause, just because your car is "slow" doesn't mean you can't make it a funner car. And anyways a fast car for me is something that makes you smile each time you drive it.One last thing a 2008 civic si bone stock does 0-60 in 7 ish seconds, the lancer is not that far from that.

 

All that is true but what if he just didnt want to make it a fast car idk bout him but i never wanted to go fast with mine i just wanted a good looking reliable car so i just made mine look good plus i drive like a grandma anyways so wth why not and the scraping dont happen with me i rolled n slightly flared my rear panels so i wouldnt rub and its a great ride so far : just my 2 cents

 

Total sickness!!!!!! The doll is retarded and makes one think a small asian girl is driving, but great execution!!!!!!

Also, to the poster who does not get this...........NO, your '03 lancer does not keep up with EVO's!

 

idc what anyone says about ur lancer man. in florida, the hellaflush,stanced, slammed look is the new movement. eventually everyone will get into this kind of thing. i am definitely digging the car. u would be a head turn around here. lemme ask, how do u like the stance with ur bc coils? mine are on the way. thanks

 

sickkkkkk

 

Whats your maximum speed in corners?

 

Looks nice, mirin.

 

Thanks for showing your setup! People can check out your style and if they don't like it, they've still used you as a resource to figure out what they want in their car.

I love the look, it wouldn't work for me but all the best to you!

 

The Lancer/Ralliart/Evolutions are basically the same car, just different specs/changes. I agree on the badging, an evolution badge should never touch a Lancer/Ralliart because that's definitely posing. But it's kind of unfair that anytime a Lancer changes wheels/wings/hoods/etc. we get dubbed Evo wannabes. Most do the blacked out front end because it looks better than the ugly stock front. That's why the X's come like that, it looks good. The Ralliart/X hoods look better than stock Lancers, OEM stuff is usually nicer than aftermarket, and a lot of the other style hoods just don't look that great, cost a lot of money, don't fit right, or still follow the same basic style of the Ralliart/X hoods. Fender vents, meh. I'm not really a fan either but they do look alright. Those are slightly poser-ish but they don't really annoy me.

This is my car, which is why I took the time to reply:




I did what I think looks clean and simple, which definitely takes some cues from the X's, but I'm not trying to make a mock X. I got my license plate to poke fun at the whole "Is that an Evo?" thing we go through as Lancer owners.

What you don't seem to get is not everyone tracks their cars or really cares about how fast it can go in a straight line or curves. Some people just like having a car that they like to look at. You can have fun just cruising around in a car styled to your tastes. Most people that drive Lancers use them as their daily transportation, and that's it. What do we need thousands of dollars in performance parts for when we go to work and/or school and back? I'm strongly against street racing or anything like that so those kinds of things are unnecessary. I have an axleback exhaust, SRI, and a tune, and that's 90% for sound and 10% for a little more pep. I don't need anymore than that.


To Danny, you know how I feel about your setup and that damn Barney doll, lol. Your car is still sexy though. Sorry for the thread hijack.

 

exactly what ive been tryna tell these people when i first looked at this thread all i seen was people bashing and hatin on a clean *** car im sure he turnin heads everywhere he goes and im sure cops leave him alone cuz he probably dont speed around town like a ricey wana be street racer so i agree with everything in this last post and i also get the idiots that think my cars an evo so i just laugh and say no but soon ill also get a sticker made to poke fun at that. . . . BTW very clean lancer roscoe

 

yesss moarr stanceee

 

del.

 

Thanks guys for the comments and supports. Sorry been busy with school. But like AE explained, as well as Roscoe. I'm not really a trackster. I just want a DD that I have fun driving and looks nice. Not every one is into building their car into a road warrior. I decided to make the car look nice, and to me that's enough to make me happy.

 

I definitely did not want to group all exterior mods that take their styling direction from the EVO into the "Wannabe / Poser" territory. I'm referring to the full fledged aping of another vehicle to completely fool on-lookers into assuming something else, even at close inspection (badges and everything).

Roscoe, I happen to think your GTS is looking very clean.

Again, just giving props to the OP for going left field on the look of his car.
